Notably, the Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from business travel (about 1,925,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (approximately 6,073,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2015, the company’s total emissions were about 80,207,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 10,152,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions reaching around 70,055,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were about 42,266,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reduction in total emissions from 2015 to 2016. In 2014, TIM Celular S.A. reported total emissions of approximately 67,781,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of about 2,195,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of around 65,565,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 39,606,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, TIM Celular S.A. has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that its reported figures are independently sourced. Overall, while TIM Celular S.A. has demonstrated a reduction in emissions over the years, the lack of formal climate commitments or reduction targets suggests an area for potential improvement in their sustainability strategy.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
